On the Loot tables can we add a coloumn that shows average number per run? This would be helpful for deciding which missions to warp, as #/run is more important that #/Chronos. 01/04/2017


 * I disagree, besides the massive undertaking to change every drop test page, its an entirely useless change. Crons/item is basically the same thing.-- 20:17, 4 January 2017 (CST)

Administrator/Bureaucrat Situation
So, we have a slight issue right now with inactive leadership here. MilkN2Sugars (talk | Contributions ) has been inactive since April 18th, 2016. Jello (talk | Contributions ) has been inactive since September 18th, 2016.

Does anyone know how we can resolve this issue? Currently we are unable to delete pages, or do other things that only Administrators and/or Bureaucrats can do. --Admiral Titan (talk) 13:27, 12 November 2016 (CST)


 * Hiho. I would be willing to take Jello's job, as you suggested on my page. I contacted on his page and per email, and am now waiting for an answer. Cheers! --Crunch (talk) 15:21, 12 November 2016 (CST)


 * Yeah, i kinda thought you'd be the one for the job, considering your basically running the wiki. Id also be happy to help with the deletion of pages (when needed), if you need help. The issue is how do we get a new Administrator/Bureaucrat if milk doesn't respond. --Admiral Titan (talk) 15:28, 12 November 2016 (CST)


 * I fully endorse Crunch as Admin Bureaucrat. Hopefully it's possible to gain control of the site. --Darxide (talk) 16:50, 21 November 2016 (CST)


 * We clearly need a few admins fast. There are problems with spam attacks and we need to be able to block those users. I would suggest a few admins so we do not find ourselves in another void as now. Otto VonBacon (talk) 14:53, 8 December 2016 (CST)


 * I haven't noticed any spam attacks. Hopefully we're considered too "small time" to be a target, though a spambot won't make that distinction. Anyhow, has there been any progress towards these ends? I don't like not having a bureaucrat and besides, I could think of a bunch of tasks I could assign to a bot, but there's nobody who can give me one. --Darxide (talk) 20:53, 11 December 2016 (CST)


 * There's been some discussion, over on the forums (starting around here), but no news that's really helpful. MilkN2Sugars hosts the Wiki, and can't be reached by any means. He hasn't been active on the forums or Wiki since April. Jello is the only other Admin, and is likewise AWOL (though they have been on the Wiki at least once since this discussion started – . Without Milk, no new Admins can be created. Since he's also the one who hosts the site, that's a little worrying for the future of the Wiki, if he's disappeared for good. -- Azkar (talk) 21:29, 11 December 2016 (CST)


 * In this case, perhaps we should dump the entire Wiki and start a new one. All we would need is a new domain name and a place to host. This should probably be done ASAP. --Darxide (talk) 04:58, 17 December 2016 (CST)

I haven't played since my tablet died but I did notice your admins have disappeared. I just wanted to point out that MilkN2Sugar's twitter page is ThomasMNS according to his blog. If you're unable to hail him in the wiki, you may have better luck through those two pages. Good luck getting admin. – CodeHydro (msg) 12:45, 12 January 2017 (CST)

Crew Heads: Vault, Stars, and Transparency
We have the old, inconsistent crew heads with various borders and resolutions, we have high-res versions with transparent backgrounds (probably based on the original artwork?), and now we also have the vault images. Which one is best? Feel free to join the discussion here: Talk:Crew --Crunch (talk) 17:45, 6 December 2016 (CST)
